Lil’ Kim Clears Up Her Message About LA Fires
On Wednesday, January 16, Lil’ Kim jumped back on X (formerly Twitter) after social media went OFF about her previous posts praying for Los Angeles and hoping a monsoon hits the city. Despite all the chatter on social media, ‘The Jump Off’ rapper didn’t understand why everyone was trippin’ as LA could use some water after the fires.
“What’s happening is devastating and what LA really needs right now is rain—so what’s the issue? Doesn’t everyone understand that a monsoon is heavy rain? I’m so happy to see that everyone is staying so positive during such a tragic situation. Let’s keep praying and supporting everyone that has been affected by this,” Kim wrote on X.
